Soundscape Journeys
United States
Приєднався 26 лип 2015
I am Wiley Monroe Camper, a composer and producer of electronic music out of my home studio. My objective is to create sonic journeys that are a new experience to the audience. My inspiration stems from artists and bands such as Klaus Shulze, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, and others. My influences are the cosmos, and other forms of art such as painting. The musical journey began when in junior high school I played trombone in the school orchestra. Later on in my mid to late teens in the 70s I discovered synthesizers, then considered to be instruments of the future. At that time I was very intrigued by bands that utilized the instrument, such as Gary Wright, Electric Light Orchestra, Pink Floyd, and scores of others.

A new 80's style cinematic song inspired by Tangerine Dream and Jan Hammer. The idea came to mind when calling up different sounds for the song, and I brought up a sound I thought would adapt to the mix quite well, which incidentally had the same title. I hope you enjoy!

Suite one: Birth of Antares Suite two: The Sun Suite three: The Planets Suite four: Spaceship Earth and Moon Spherical Sequence was composed and recorded in 2012. I had the idea of re-producing the piece in celebration of the solar eclipse on April 8th. I originally recorded the song on a free, rather inferior DAW called Krystal, so there were some flaws in some of the audio. I replenished thos...

Silver Clouds and the title cut Moonbeams are from a project work I performed in 1984. This is two of the songs from the album. The Moonbeams project was influenced by Steven Hill's Hearts of Space syndicated radio station out of California, which I listened to quite extensively during this time. The electronic musicians Michael Stearns and Steve Roach were two of my influences, with Michael St...

The Blue Room is my new December 2023 release. Based on my painting bearing the title completed in 1986. The music goes back to my Hearts of Space roots in the early 80s and was produced in the phrygian dominant D scale. The phrygian scale is considered to be a dark mode, used mostly for film scoring, however; I blended other chord progressions in the key of A major in so there is a nice balanc...

Marcus, What a statement of presence, "I am here!", that crisp sharp and confident feel, and puts us in a present, that makes our friend HAL, history that we advaced past! Wonderful production!
Hey Zedenko, I hope your Friday night is well. I'm just wondering; did you mean for this really nice comment for someone else, or maybe I'm confused. No worries though, just wondering. I've been scouring the news concerning this plane crash in PA that happened this evening, two now in one week. I have more in the works, will be uploading soon. Take care
Lol, I was wondering why I had to comment a second time for Marcus Palt. Apologies, but, glad to hear from you buddy! Looking forward to your new work. Stay well!
KS a genius respect from BE
Thank you so much! Yes, very much so. My two favorite albums are Mirage and Kontinuum
In my interpretation, we can follow the story of the development of a girl child in the dream, who grows from an anxious little girl to a mature woman. At about 6:00 the miracle happens and the transformation begins, the beautiful lady becomes a brave armored Amazon by the end of the dream. All this is perfectly followed by the stunning soundtrack you composed. Bravo Wiley! 👌
PS, you are dead on, I missed it, went back and this time I get it, and the search begins at 3:30 when she is looking ahead where her journey begins! We should do a graphic novel together! Lol
Thank you so much! This is what happens, my friend! She starts out on her journey as the dream begins as a child, then becomes as you have very well described at the end. I find A.I. to be very helpful in finding the right material to use for these pieces that convey a story. Thanks again so much for coming by. Take care
Great music dear Wiley Fantastic! 🎶☄️🌠🎵❤️💫✨ A true dream full of textures and enchanting sequences! The fleeting appearance of that nagic Froesian guitar at times shows us the spirit of that dreamy Tangerine Dream! ❤Wow! Great masterpiece my friend! 💪👍 Greetings and good wishes to you and yours! 🤗❤
Hey Aldo, thank you! I'm very thankful you enjoyed! The conclusion is my favorite part. PS> Good wishes in return! I hope all your way are doing fine as well. Take care my good man!
Sounds really great! Mesmerizing atmosphere.
Thanks so much Fred. To use a phaser or not to use a phaser, that is the question. I tried it on this piece, I think it turned out ok, just couldn't find that classic sound with it. Take care!
Having morning coffee! Enjoyed! Cheers!;-)!
Thank you for your kind comment! Nice to hear from you 😎
Great, drifty music
Thank you George!
Hey Wiley, Lovely Sunday evening voyage here...just right. Thanks for sharing and hope all's well your way. -Carm
Hello Carm 🙂 It is great to hear from you, and I'm very thankful you came by and this voyage was just right for you. I hope all is well your way with yourself and the director 😺 Take care, will keep in touch!
Truly ethereal, this piece could have been part of a transmission from the "Hearts of Space", enough said! Always a good day , when you upload your masterpieces!
Greetings Zdenko! I had the same thought as you with this composition, definitely follows the theme. It is always good to hear from you, and I'm very thankful you enjoyed! Take care!
1/5/2024 Philadelphia PA USA ❤and snowing right now ❄️❄️ after midnight ❄️❄️
Thank you for the visit! I am glad you enjoy this I am south of PA, we are suppose to get some form of frozen precipitation this Friday Take care 😺
Ooohhh! Fantastic images and spectacular music, my friend! Superb! It is always a beautiful experience to visit your magical channel dear Wiley! Thanks! Cheers and happy 2025!
Thank you Aldo The ARP Solena string sound still has its magic, which you can hear throughout this piece. Thanks again , and best wishes for 2025!
Spectacular sounding and awesome development. Great work!!
Thank you so much, Frederick. I am glad you enjoyed it. Take care. 😊
Hi Wiley! I was eagerly awaiting the new composition. As always, you brought the quality work. Congratulations my friend! 👌
Thank you very much 🙏 Best wishes for 2025 my friend!
Wiley, this is an incredible journey, through many sonic spaces, from quiet reflective moments to lush cinematic passages, the part where two beats resolve into one at 5:20 and then go almost silent, brings one in and makes you pay close attention to every little detail that follows, genius! With all of life's hardships, by creating you have made your life a work of art! Best wishes for 2025!
Hey Zdenko Good morning! (I think it is still morning 😸) Thank you so much for your kind thoughts! I hope all is well, and best wishes for this coming year! The old adage that time is flying is certainly in order, at least from my perspective, its just getting away. I had this in mind as I was putting this piece together. Yourself and all yours take good care
Enjoyed the journey!! So many details and musical ideas ... like a symphony in a nutshell. Best wishes for 2025, Hans(i)
Thank you Hans! Best wishes in return for yourself and all yours for 2025
Great music
Thank you so much George
Wiley, I never got to hear this gem 10 months ago, it's just a lovely piece! The gentle rhythm and the subtle leads take you on a soft glide thru their ambience! I love it!
Zedenko, welcome back my friend! Its great to read your comments again 😎 I just took a well needed break with my family for a while on vacation, but I am working on more ambient sound scapes. I hope all is well with you, and thanks for your kind words
Hey buddy, it's taking a while to get back up to speed, and speaking of speed, this piece is perfect for moving! Did you have a van? I did in the 80s, i converted it into a lounger, great for partying. Hope things are getting better for you too!
Hey! It's great to have you back Incidentally, I did have a 1980 dodge B-100 van, I used it for a lot of hauling stuff, like full sheets of 4 x 8 plywood, etc. It had a 226 slant 6 in it, a tough motor. I sold it to a friend of ours, but we had it roughly the same time you had your conversion van, around 85 - 87. We have a bit in common! 😸
Exceptionnal orchestration and interpretation. Unique creative style. So beautiful, sweet and smooth. Incredible musician with so much feeling. Much inspired and talented musical production. A real peaceful and relaxing pleasure to listen. Full of poetry and spirit.Good for the mind and the ears. Big big big like for this fabulous perform and brighting sharing. Splendid and luminous.
Thank you Olivier 🙂 Your kind words are very much appreciated, and also your support! Thank you for your visit and the sub!
that's an exceptional work, subscription is mandatory
@@MEqwed Thank you very much!
Wow! Since I couldn't find a recent premiere, I came to your past to browse a little and I found this wonder my friend! Beautiful track and a video that should be worthy of today's artificial intelligence, which of course did not exist 7 years ago! I leave my humble Like 7, very little for such a great work! As always, YT falls asleep with the dissemination of great artists! Big hug my friend!
@DOALTRONIC-Aldo_Amodei Thanks Aldo 😺 This song started out as an experiment, and it is one of about three where I am playing live. I may work more live performance in eventually. I am grateful that you came by and gave it a listen and like 🙏 Stay tuned my friend
To naprawdę świetny utwór ! Ale swoim stylem bardziej przypomina muzykę Tangerine Dream niż Klausa Schulze. Może to być hołd oddany zarówno Edgarowi Froese jak i Klausowi Schulze.
Greetings, and thank you for your kind comment! It never occurred to me for both. The thought had crossed my mind shortly after Edgar had passed away that I would record a tribute for him, but I held back for some reason. Thanks again, and thank you for your visit
Beautiful Job ❤ 🔥 subscribed ✨️ 🙏
Greetings, and thank you so much!
bester musiker aller universen
Agreed
Simple theme and great audio-visual experience! I got to know you from your new page. Movie-sounding music is my favorite anyway. I enjoyed the retro feel! Thanks! 👌
Your welcome! My roots is still ambient space, but I love the retro 80's as well, an era where technology of sound and synths was exploding
Definitely a Jan Hammer signature sound here. Love that. I saw him once live and that was awesome. Great track and footage!
Thank you Fred! 🙂 Yes, he has a special and unique method of playing his keytar to sound like a very expressive guitar, which has gained wide spread acceptance.
💥 ❤ B R I L L A N T ❤ 💥
Thank you much!
Ooohhh! Yeah! A great dream music to make my ears fall in love again with this tangerine style! Wow! How much emotion and beauty of sound my friend! Bravo! You have captured the spirit of TD in every detail! I loved it! Great video too! Thanks for sharing it! Best regards and as always, I'm glad to see you doing these fabulous works! Good wishes to you and yours!
Thank you Aldo 😎 Best wishes in return I was in a rather synthwave frame of mind, and so I got to work on an idea, I am elated you enjoy it. Thanks! Take care
Great music
Greetings George! Thank you much
Nice bass and rhythm section.
Thank you much!
It was an amazing journey through the world of sounds! You brought the quality again. I immediately listened to it three times. Big congratulations my friend! 👌
Hey! How's it going? Thanks for this nice comment and I am elated you listened to it 3 X. Thank you so much!
You are something, Steve Roach! Thank you so much!
@@AdrienneTaylor-s9f Hello. Thanks for this compliment! I can't really measure up to Steve Roach
Great!! 🪐
@HansiModular Thank you, Hans!
Hello dear Wiley, and thank you for this wonderful musical experience that transports us to magical places of peace and absolute calm!❤🎶✨💫🎶 Great job! Greetings and good wishes to you and yours my friend!🤗
@DOALTRONIC-Aldo_Amodei Hey Aldo 🙂 Thank you, and best wishes in return! I hope all is well with you. Lately, all we and our neighbors farther south have been doing is preparing for hurricanes. Take care!
Oh! Take care of yourselves friends! Luckily here in the southern tip of America we don't usually have those disastrous visits! Or at least they are smaller magnitude tornadoes. Good wishes and greetings! ♥️🙏🤗
Deliciously soothing and heavenly atmosphere. Great track.
@nolake Hello Fred 🙂 Thank you much! I tried out the new The Legend HZ synth VST, which sounds fantastic in this piece.
Chill. Very good
Hello George 🙂 Thank you so much!
The sounds and visuals are just what I needed to calm down a bit on a Sunday night. Serendipity. Thank you!
Your welcome! I'm very elated you like it and that this had a calming effect. Take care
What a great tribute you made! Beautiful broken chords, majestic strings, soft peggies and some light percussive elements sprinkled on top for good measure! Well done, sir! I got the feeling that this was pieced together from smaller sessions? Not that decimates the quality, but I had a hard time immersing myself fully because the theme sort of shifted. Especially in the beginning. Great work!
Thank you! What I was mainly striving for throughout the piece was perhaps to created something different, or to provide enough of an emotional reminder for everyone of his works throughout all the years I listened to his music, so you can say the whole piece was recorded into small suites, with an intro and outro, as opposed to following one generalized theme, which I am more accustomed to doing. Thank you very much for your kind comment and your visit, very much appreciated.
Beautiful track with the great quality and talent that your signature always carries my friend! The addition of the sequencer in the style of the Berlin School and TD is fantastic and gives a wonderful retro and mysterious touch to your magnificent work! Greetings and see you soon! Hugs!
@DOALTRONIC-Aldo_Amodei Thank you Aldo 😊 I am replenishing my batteries for new ideas. I will chat soon my friend. Take care!
My pleasure, my friend! You and your music are always very welcome!
Un précurseur, une légende pour l'électro d'aujourd'hui avec Vangelis, Jean-Michel JARRE et autres Kraftwerk.
@denis-bouteau Thank you for your comment 🙏 Klaus was indeed a pioneer who left a great legacy in electronic music. He will be missed
Ambient ambrosia, the antidote to the age monster! At months away from 80, I will give this several listens to help in the quest for more time. The pad floor carries us to the bell tones and then you break the ambient trance with some sweet leads that pass into the ambient mix. I like the way you keep the leads in the background so they do not disturb the already developed mood. The vocal snippets add mystery. Nicely done. I feel younger already! ({-;)
Thank you sam 🙏 I am grateful that you enjoyed it, and I'm elated that you feel younger, maybe there is an antidote 🙂 Take care!
A sonic (and visual) treat!. At 0:45 the Berlin school begins and I am its student. Your work is refined and disciplined and so rewarding The rhythms at 4:30 bring the energy and movement and the flange pads that come later 6:30? provide that spaciousness we love from electronic instruments. And the energy at 7:30 goes to another level then fades, so smart in the mix. The whole creative exploration inspires me to get disciplined and do some multi-tracking again instead of my live stereo mixes. Those pads and metalics from 9:30 on are so wisely mixed. The mood is varied and interesting throughout. Splendid!
Hey Sam 🙂 Thank you so much! Thanks for sharing what you appreciated from the music. This piece was more or less a sonic sculpture, I wasn't 100% sure which turn it was taking at first, but I am satisfied the way it turned out. Thanks again my friend!
@@soundscapejourneys-wileymonroe Your works remind me of the endless possibilities for sonic adventures for electronic soundscape artists. I know what you mean, we start with an idea and it becomes its own thing and takes us to places we had not planned. Sort of a sonic adventure.
This is why we love synthesizers. The sonic pallet is so multi-dimensional. I was grooving for the first 2 minutes then the bass sequence puts it to another level. Your synth voicing is unique and varied, rewarding the listener with constant sonic flavors and changes. The treble sequence is a lively addition late in the piece but you never stand pat, always a new sound, unique and fresh to this day. Kudos.
Thank you so much! What you hear a lot of in this song is the Icarus and Dune 3, and some splashes of tonal colors from Synthmaster 2 and the Modx8. Thanks again for coming by. Take care
@@soundscapejourneys-wileymonroe I always regretted not getting Dune. I opted for Spire which is good for beats, trap and such but not so much for the spacious evolving sounds. I do have the montage, same sound set as MODX. Synthmaster is a good choice. I spend more time with pigments and omnisphere lately but have a great many softsynths to satisfy GAS and other desires. You get great mileage from your synths, a tribute to your expertise and musicianship.
The track is ageing like a grand Bordeaux, what a jewel! It tells so many stories and it sounds like a classic. Great work.
Thank you Fred I'm very grateful for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
What is true and high-quality remains good even as time progresses! It was an experience! 👌
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was a great experience for you. That really makes me feel that the objective was accomplished. Take care
Chill and beautiful
Hey George 🙂 Thank you very much!
The solo at the end is not in key
Hello Thank you for your visit and listening. That particular string sound was produced by a VST instrument titled Serenity Pro. I don't use that synth that much, but in this instance I used that particular sound because of the dreamy effect it has, and you are correct, it is slightly detuned. It is a VST made by HG Fortune, and for some reason all the virtual synths made by that company all have detuned sounds. I thought it was a nice effect. I appreciate your comment! 🙏 Take care
I hate tributh make yourn music
Well, again, thank you for your comment and your opinion. I wanted to make a tribute to one of the most influential pioneers in electronic music because, as I can speak for many others, I really appreciate his music and inspiration. This tribute is my music, expression, and emotions that I personally felt for Klaus Schulz. Take care.
Fabulous. Not easy to make music this good.
Thank you so much! You're right, it takes much time and patience, sometimes a few prototypes before everything musically agrees, especially with tributes because they are very personal Thank you for your visit and your kind words
Awesome atmospheric composition sounds great. Amazing work.🎵✨🌊
